Gorgeous beach at a good property
The property is nice. The beach is fantastic! The food is a 7-8 - they could def do better in the area... but I don't think that's the fault of staff - I think the Riu just really doesn't prioritize this area. On a different note, the entertainment was really fun & absolutely terrific, especially the evening shows (one put in the courtyard, followed by one inside the stage/theater area). The "resort credits" were basically non-existent (when I asked about them, I was told I could have a coupon for $15 off a massage service - totally useless!). Service was great - it really felt like the staff genuinely cared about the guests/guest- experience!

Experiência muito boa. Staff muito simpático, opções de alimentação muito boas e praia maravilhosa. Não rankeamos 5 pela oportunidade de melhoria no ar condicionado (capacidade de resfriamento limitada ou com problemas que não resolveram) e área do vaso sanitário com exaustão insuficiente (ou com problemas que não resolveram).

I’ve always enjoyed staying at RIU hotels. Staff and service is great. The only complaints I have is the hard beds and no privacy to change if you traveling with kids.

Quick taxi ride to downtown Playa Del Carmen. You will not wait long. Download the RIU app so you can do everything from order room service, refill the minibar, or anything else you could need. Beach is awesome for long walks. Sun chairs easy enough to get full shade to full sun. A few vendors selling things on the beach but they leave you be if not interested. The restaurants and buffets are good, plenty of choices. The staff is pleasant and make your stay great.

Key card didn't work 6 times. We had to ask everyday, multiple times a day. They changed the battery of the lock twice. It was annoying. Food and drinks were not great. The rooms need updating. The staff was friendly.
